Story

<p>Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :).</p> <p>As a lot of you will know, my family have been involved with the Friends of Chernobyl's children charity for the past 5 years and we are always fundraising in different ways. So this year it's my turn to do something crazy.... a 10,000 ft. tandem skydive! eeeeeeeek!!!</p> <p>I'm doing it on the 25th of September and need to raise at least &pound;450.... but I want to raise as much as poss!! So I'm looking for you all to sponsor me with a donation of as much or as little as you can afford, every little helps ;).</p> <p>This is my last year with the charity, I said a tearful goodbye to my beautiful Elina in June so I want to go out with a bang and raise as much as possible for future little Elinas :)</p> <p>For those of you who don't know much about the charity, they bring a group of children over from Belarus for a month every year for 5 years. The children's lives have been severely affected by the Chernobyl disaster, a lot of them live in ill health and poverty. A month in the UK can increase their life expectancy by years!
